Download File Nesting from the VS Gallery or get the CI build.
Automatically nest files based on file name and enables developers to nest and unnest any file manually
See the demo video on Channel 9.
- Manually nest files
- Manually un-nest files
- Auto-nesting based on naming conventions
- Option to enable auto-nesting when files are added or renamed
- Options to specify which naming conventions to apply
- Keyboard shortcut for manual nesting (Ctrl+Alt+N)
You can both nest and un-nest any file with ease.
File Nesting also gives you the option to automatically nest based on file naming rules. You can then apply those rules to any files, folders or entire projects.
Here's a screenshot of that:
Due to missing or limited support for file nesting in certain project types, this extension will have no effect or be disabled. The project types are:
- Node.js projects (NTVS)
- ASP.NET Core (has built in rules for nesting)
- Apache Cordova
- Shared projects
There is nothing this extension can do to provide nesting in those project types. The support has to be added to the project type itself before support can be added.
